Rhotia Valley Ttd. Lodge: picture gallery


Rhotia Valley Tented lodge sits up on a hill...
...between the Ngorongoro Crater and the Rift Valley Escarpment.
It's decorated in a rustic style...
...and certainly doesn't have a polished or luxurious feel...
...but there's friendly atmosphere here and nice staff.
Outside, there is a large wooden bar made from local eucalyptus wood...
... and an oval shaped pool surrounded by sun loungers.
The lounge area offers comfy seating options...
...there is a large brick fireplace...
....and braziers for the chilly evenings.
The well spaced tents are all shaded by thatched roofs...
...and raised on wooden platforms.
They're simple yet comfortable inside with printed canvas hanging behind the beds...
... offering views overlooking the hills.
Each tent has a functional en-suite bathroom at the back.
Low bamboo divides separate the flush toilet from the shower.
Each tent has its own solar generator.
The views over the valley are beautiful.
On the hill opposite sits the children's home...
…which some of the profits from the lodge go directly to support.
